What's in ChatGPT's Healthcare category?
ChatGPT's plugin directory has a Healthcare category. On October 1, 2026, it listed MyFitnessPal, WeightWatchers and Peloton, plus Calorie Tracker, CalorieCam, SnapCal, Sphere Calorie Tracker, BurnWeek, BurnFat, PlateLens, ChefPlan, Cal Plus and Alma.1
On July 9, 2026, the Plugin Directory replaced the App Directory, and existing app connections were unaffected. Older guides may still call these apps or connectors.9
Listings change often. Check the directory on the day you connect anything.
Three questions to ask before you connect
OpenAI's guidelines say plugins must tell you about every permission they request, and requests must be limited to what the plugin needs to work.4
OpenAI's troubleshooting page says Free and Go users can browse the directory, but plugin extensions aren't available on those plans. We haven't confirmed how that applies to each plugin, so check the listing.5
- Does it save to my account? Read the listing's description and starter prompts to see whether it logs entries or only answers questions.
- Can it read my data? Look at what it asks permission for when you connect, and read its privacy link.
- Which ChatGPT plans can use it? Check the listing before you count on it.

Health apps we didn't find in the directory
When the first 100 Healthcare listings were checked on October 1, 2026, there was no listing for Strava, WHOOP, Oura, Lose It, Cronometer, MacroFactor, Noom or Yazio. That's unconfirmed, since listings change and an app can sit in another category.1
If you use one of these apps, search the directory for it by name before you assume it isn't there.
Plugins versus Health in ChatGPT
Health in ChatGPT has its own connections. Today it connects to Apple Health on iPhone, U.S. provider portals, One Medical and Function Health, and OpenAI says nutrition apps, MyFitnessPal by name, reach it only through Apple Health.10
OpenAI introduced ChatGPT Health on January 7, 2026, and the announcement named MyFitnessPal, Weight Watchers, Function, Peloton, AllTrails and Instacart.11
Before you connect a health plugin
OpenAI's help pages describe installing a plugin from Settings, then Plugins, then Install plugin, then Connect. You can also open the directory from the sidebar.67
- As of October 2026, go to Settings > Plugins, find the plugin, then select Install plugin > Connect.
- Read the listing's privacy and terms links to see what the developer keeps.
- When the plugin asks for permissions, approve only what you expect it to need.
- To disconnect a plugin later, follow OpenAI's Connected apps in ChatGPT help page, listed in the sources below.
Where TrueCal fits
We make TrueCal, a food log for iPhone, Android and the web. TrueCal is not in the ChatGPT plugin directory yet. On ChatGPT Plus or a higher plan, you can add it yourself on the web with developer mode, then describe a meal and TrueCal saves it to your food log.12
Meal logging in ChatGPT is text only. Use the TrueCal app for photo logging and barcode scanning.12
Worked example
Say you want ChatGPT to save the meals you describe. In the directory you'd open a plugin's listing and check its developer, starter prompts, and privacy and terms links before you select Install plugin. TrueCal is not in the ChatGPT plugin directory yet, so on Plus or a higher plan you'd add it yourself on the web with developer mode, then type, TrueCal, log two eggs and a slice of toast for breakfast. TrueCal saves the meal to the same food log you see on iPhone, Android and the web.812
A closer look
OpenAI's plugin guidelines set limits that matter for health plugins. A plugin must not collect, ask for or process protected health information, must gather only the minimum data it needs to work, and must tell you about every permission it requests.4
